Harpoon Station At Reaper’s Hideout.

  • A harpoon at ”Reaper’s Hideout” is a must. The players have suffered long enough without one. Next update, it would be a wise feature to add to Sea Of Thieves.

  • @littlelungzz591 If you decide to work for Flameheart that is the price you have to pay, for you see the old bag o'bones doesn’t know first thing about infrastructure.

  • The players have suffered long enough without one.

    Is it suffering to have a Good location that accepts 90% of all loot regardless of "Faction"? Very simple location, barely anyone tucks on anymore and you dont even need to be an Emissary to go there.

  • @littlelungzz591
    It's one of the best places to sell loot. That and the Sovereigns, but Reapers tops Sovereigns. There's gotta be some trade off to a faction that accepts legit everything except for smugglers and SoSS...

  • [mod edit] Reaper faction tops ALL the sell locations you’re even thinking about. It doesn’t make sense that everyone else has a harpoon station besides reaper especially after that one update (Can’t remember the name). Also who told you that nobody tucks? [mod edit] Not everyone knows the “Park spots” for reaper’s, so they’re better off adding it in quite literally 0 drawbacks.

  • @look-behind-you Do think a Harpoon Station At reaper’s is a bad idea? Haven’t we gone long enough without one? I want to know your thought on it. Also I’m not reporting do I sound like a snitch.

  • @littlelungzz591

    When you decide to raise Reapers, you choose to take on certain risks. For example, you're shown on the map no matter what grade you are. Everyone on that server can see your location and can choose to attack you if they wish. Another risk, is it takes longer to sell treasure by hand, and the treasure you sell at grade 5 is at much higher multiplier (risk vs. reward). The absense of a soveriegn tower is on purpose. You can still choose to sell using the Sovereign tower if you wish, but the rewards won't be applied.

    If you choose the higher risk, you receive a higher payout.

  • Are you not using the shortcut near the tent? Or the classic. Rowboat harpoon?

  • @burnbacon Do you hear how that sounds? “Am I using the rowboat harpoon” just add a Harpoon station.

    It's not needed. You choose a higher risk for a higher reward, you sell by hand. Don't like it? Don't raise Reaper emissary. Also, be wary of using a harpoon rowboat. There's been times in the past where it's clipped below the ground, and treasure gets lost.

  • The lack of a harpoon on Reaper's, in part, is to extend the time it takes to turn in, to give rivals and treasure seekers a chance to come give you a hard time - one of the many risks you take on as a Reaper.

  • @LittleLungzz591 you do know you have a grapple gun and it is so fast to stand at the entrance of reapers if you park at the proper spot and you can grapple the items right from the bow of your ship and make sure you have an ammo crate right next to you. Easy done. You don't need a harpoon.

  • I agree, not to sovereigns level of efficiency but in comparison now you are punished for being a reaper almost to extent that it feels devs are trying to deter it.

    I will sometimes do reaper to find emissary then sell to sovereign anyway.

    I think a harpoon near the main selling spot south tower where you could unload but you still need to run it to tent would be a good compromise.

  • Honestly they should probably either add a harpoon station or block off the "sell spot" at Reaper's Hideout. Depends on what angle the team want to go for on this issue though.

    I prefer the shortcut by the tent. It's accessible anytime (unless a ship is already there)

  • @ablepirate
    The idea is to use your environment in this game. Blocking off that spot just makes being a Reaper even worse then it already is.

  • @europa4033 So basically you’re saying “Don’t raise the flag that gives you the highest payout” you’re passing it off as if it’s punishment for raising “Reaper embassy” I don’t think you will understand until your caught pants down at Reapers selling.

    I'm saying, "Don't raise the flag that gives you the highest payout if you don't want to accept the risks associated with it." Also, you won't be "caught with your pants down," if you remain observant. No one can surprise you by sneaking up if you spot them first. Since you're shown on the map at grade 1 and can't see where other emissaries are, any ship can sail towards you. It's like being observant is the main idea or something?

  • @europa4033 As if being OTR constantly while sailing isn’t enough of a risk, People can see where your coming from no matter where you are on the map while they can be off the radar, Also I shouldn’t have to have my ship pinned nose facing, sails down towards the island while selling a huge load of treasure, just add a harpoon station. I honestly don’t see why you’re against it.

  • @littlelungzz591 It's a PVP faction, that means there has to be risk, otherwise they'd have to make the payout lower.

    You choose to accept those risks when you raise that emissary. Others can come to you and attack you (recently we sunk a grade 5 Reaper who yelled at us, saying we didn't have to sink them lol). Where you park your ship is your choice. If you don't like your ship pinned in, then don't. Reapers doesn't need a harpoon to "quickly sell loot" since you are at an increased risk of pvp, which you accepted, when you chose to raise that emissary.

    Have they fixed that? I kept losing stuff through the floor after despawn whenn they added the elevator.

  • People can see where your coming from no matter where you are on the map while they can be off the radar

    Other reapers can see other reapers. But you also do know..You dont HAVE to be a reaper to go there. If it was strictly reaper only factions, sure...maybe. But I can without a reaper flag, sail up and deliver. Why? because I choose to. I still earn Rep and no risk, Unless I am carrying something that only reapers accept...so now someone could, wait for me.

    Use those Harpoons to Grab my loot and turn it in before I can. Oh yeah...we can do that.
